![]() ![]() The new Revo 3.3 is pure monster to its core with its massive presence, meaner gaze, and feature-rich capability. Now more than ever, the new Revo 3.3 defines what it means to be the pinnacle of monster truck performance, the standard bearer for cutting edge innovation and boundless capability that all others are measured against. Monster innovation, monster versatility, and supreme size come together in the one truck that could only come from Traxxas. It that case, I would need to change the either the shock fluid or the shock damper ring doo dads whatchamacallits to provide more damping.This is the Traxxas Revo 3.3 Ready-to-Run Nitro 4-Wheel Drive Radio Controlled Monster Truck with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), the TQi 2.4GHz Radio System with Bluetooth Wireless Module and Telemetry Sensors included! These are complete with the new high-performance 3.3 engine with a high-performance dual-chamber Resonator polished aluminum tuned pipe, EZ-Start 2 Electric Start System, TQi 2.4GHz transmitter (telemetry sensors included!), servos, receiver, 1200mAh 5-cell receiver battery, 7.2V 6-cell EZ-Start battery, DC charger, extra glow plug, and a fuel filler bottle. So if I bend shock shafts after putting on aluminum rods ends that would prove the theory. If that was indeed what was happening, then that would mean the bump stops were inadequate to the job because that is exactly what they are there for, to prevent the shock being damaged from over compression. If you take the chassis out of the scenario, then perhaps if the shock compresses so violently it pushes the rod end further down on the shock rod and strips the threads in it that would make sense. That doesn't make sense to me and my shocks don't hit the chassis at full compression. And as for shock rod I have never had to replace one using aluminum shock rod ends. I can't say as I have seen a shock rod end pull off when the shock is compressed, I don't see how it can pull it off if the rocker arm is pushing on the shock rod end. Sorry HILL but I have to agree with Pat on this one, it's easier to change a shock end then shock shaft. I haven't done this mod yet myself as it is still summer here in oz and I want to run every weekend, but I intend on doing a lot of upgrades this winter and will do it then. While your in Mr.C's photobucket page you should check out the rest of his mods a lot of good stuff there. Mr.C has told me has not pulled one off since doing this mod and only had to change worn shock ends. I've been told it's because the shocks hit the chassis at full suspension compression but if you raise the rear shock mount 3mm it will stop this from happening. I've pull 3 shock ends off in the last 3 weeks and lost a retain too. The next big thing will be getting a Futaba 3PM radio set and I want to get a Superbrain 960 charger. Once I get the body painted and everything put together I'll post some pics, it's kind of a wip now. Started with stock then went purple in back with silver in front which didnt work too well so now I'm trying green up front and tan in back. Proline wabash wheels with crime fightersĪnd I got some Imex AT Tires for my stock wheels and went ahead and bought all the Traxxas springs and have been trying different setups out which has been fun. I don't have personal experience with the Venom, but I have heard that it is glitchy whereas I've only heard good things about the Ofna. Well welcome to the hobby! I started ages ago with a Tamiya Frog, but recently got a Revo after being out of the hobby for years and it is a lot of fun. ![]()
